The first mentor to rush down for Xiao Ran wasn’t the only female mentor, Na Ying . It was the mentor with the strictest criteria, Jay Chou!
Na Ying who was still immersed in the song was slightly shocked after seeing Jay Chou rushing down so quickly .
Just listening to the first two sentences, this song had a brand new style .
But just the first two sentences already produced its unique taste and was brewing excitement .
It was hard to say what the later part of the song would be like .
Innovation was something that must be done carefully .
But Jay Chou wasn’t a person who walked the normal path . He was a bold and innovative singer . His songs in this world had also combined R7B with hip-hop and many different styles of music .
When the prelude echoed, Jay Chou’s blood was already boiling . He felt that this song was the same as his own creation and was so fitting for him as though he was his own song!
But Jay Chou had been waiting for this young participant to sing before he made his confirmation .
As soon as sang the first sentence, Jay Chou couldn’t hide his inner excitement anymore!
This was the feeling he had been looking for!
This was the type of style that could strike at his soul!
As such, when the second sentence was finished, Jay Chou didn’t hesitate to press the button and rush down .
Xiao Ran’s song continued…
Every one of us has sins, different kinds of sins .
I can decide who is right and who should be asleep .
…
Wang Feng’s right had been suspended above the button . When Xiao Ran rang the part: ‘Every one of us has sins, different kinds of sins . ’, Wang Feng’s right hand slammed down forcefully and his mentor’s seat rushed down .
Na Ying and Harlem Yu looked at one another . They never expected Wang Feng and Jay Chou to rush down so quickly .

This participant had caused a huge commotion in the audience when he appeared . But why did Jay Chou rush down as soon as the participant sang? In just another few sentences, Wang Feng had also surrendered?
Could their brains have been overwhelmed and pushed the button wrongly?
Jay Chou felt that the song was too fitting for him, hence, he rushed down .
Wang Feng’s brain was indeed ‘overwhelmed’, but he didn’t press wrongly .
He was simply unable to resist the lyrics of this song .
‘Every one of us has sins, different kinds of sins . ’ This sentence of words had been constantly echoing in his mind and stimulating his rock ‘n’ roll’s blood .
‘I can decide who is right and who should be asleep . ’ Harlem Yu was carefully enjoying the lyrics before he suddenly slammed on the button, “Very rebel and very arrogant! I like it!!”
Na Ying was the final person who rushed down .
She who had been in the entertainment industry for a long time was already immuned to handsome men to a certain extent . But a very handsome and talented young man had given Na Ying the desire to jump into Xiao Ran’s embrace!
As for Jay Chou, he had been listening quietly as though nothing else mattered to him .
Every word in the lyrics and every melody had been strumming the strands in Jay Chou’s heart . It had made Jay Chou engrossed into the song .
It felt as though this song was especially sung for him .
All the feelings in the song seemed to be everything Jay Chou had experienced over the past decade . There was a very special and connected feeling .
But would this singer-songwriter’s creation and performance be a match for his feelings?
Jay Chou’s heart had been drawn .
It was very rare for this top-class Chinese music producer to be so nervous when listening to someone sing . He was afraid that the intent of this song would be different from the optimal intent that he had expected .
All of the mentors had already rushed down for Xiao Ran but his song wasn’t finished yet .
Father is holding my hands and gently walking pass .
On that quiet stone path in the morning .

I~ slowly fell asleep .
The sky~ is just at daybreak .
…
When Xiao Ran used a downcast, steady, and romantic tone to sing the final part ‘I~ slowly fell asleep, The sky~ is just at daybreak’, Jay Chou stood up and cheered .
This was the feeling he wanted!
This was the song he desired!
Who was this participant?
How could the participant be so connected with him?!
Jay Chou agreed to join the show, Sing! China because he wanted to find such a creation and wanted to find such a voice!
In fact, the latter part of the song had given him a completely pleasant surprise and had exceeded his expectations!
He didn’t have to reserve himself anymore .
As soon as Xiao Ran finished the song, while the others were still immersed in the song, Jay Chou pushed himself off the chair and jumped up, “I want this participant!! I want him!!!”
“Jay, Jay, calm down, take a seat first . ” Wang Feng finished persuading Jay Chou before he looked at Xiao Ran seriously and said, “Okay, please introduce yourself . ”
Xiao Ran lifted the microphone, “Hello everyone, my name is Xiao Ran . ”
“Are you studying now or are you working?” Na Ying questioned .
“I am still studying but I have applied to self-study at home . Apart from exams, I don’t need to attend school . ” Xiao Ran lowered his head embarrassedly .
“Haha, such a cute young man . ” Na Ying laughed heartily, “I am the only female mentor and you should know that . ”
Xiao Ran broke out with sweat and nodded, “I know . ”
“But don’t you feel strange…”

Jay Chou said, “Hey, Xiao Ran, she feels that I am strange . ”
“Yes, I felt very strange at the speed of which Jay rushed down . ”
“That’s right, for all kinds of music, as long as it is nice, I will rush down quickly . It doesn’t matter if it is a male or female mentor, right?”
Wang Feng voiced his opinion too, “That is true . Why can’t we?”
Jay Chou continued speaking, “I love innovation the most . Xiao Ran’s song is the same as my songs which are filled with diversity . I feel that he is definitely my fan and will definitely choose me . Isn’t that right?”
“That might not be true . ” Wang Feng snatched the opportunity to speak, “His song’s style might resemble your songs but the lyrics are definitely leaning towards rock ‘n’ roll . That sentence, ‘Every one of us has sins, different kinds of sins’, is representing a youth’s desire to rebel!”
Harlem Yu interrupted, “All of you should know that I come from a family of musicians . My mother sings Chinese opera and I have contact with all sorts of music from a young age . In my opinion, this song’s style is very easy to recognize . It is a special combination of classical piano and Italian opera . The melody is regular pop music and the style is truly an eye-opener . But it doesn’t belong to rock ‘n’ roll and is more like opera . ”
After speaking, Harlem Yu fixed his eyes on Xiao Ran and said, “When talking about innovation, all my songs are new innovations . Come to my team and we can go and listen to operas together . ”
“You mentioned that this is your original song . ” Wang Feng asked with interest, “What is your intent when developing this song?”
Xiao Ran scratched his head and made a bluff calmly, “I… was staying up late and unintentionally heard an opera song, giving me the inspiration to create this song . ”
“Staying up late?” Na Ying shook her head, “Staying up late isn’t good for the body . It means you cannot go to Mentor Jay Chou’s team . He is always playing games all night, you know? If you go over, you still have to accompany him to stay up late every night . ”
Xiao Ran was so emotional it was finally at the main topic, “I always wanted to play with Mentor Jay Chou and wanted to join his team . I mean his LoL team . ”
“Oh no!” Na Ying regretfully grabbed her hair .
“Little Ying, why did you dig a pit for yourself?” Harlem Yu was laughing at her misfortune .
“Let’s do it like this . ” Na Ying made her final struggle, “Come to my team and I will bring you to play games with him every day . Mentor Jay Chou and I have a great relationship . ”
Jay Chou quickly shook his hand and said, “No No No, if you go to her team, I will never play with you . Furthermore, if you come to my team, I can ask the J Team’s members to play together with us . ”
“Alright alright, let us all give him a final shot for him to decide . ” Harlem Yu pointed both hands at himself and said, “Come to my team and I will give you the ability to decide for yourself . You can sing whatever you want and I will create new songs with you . ”
After Harlem Yu finished, Na Ying also gave her guarantee, “Xiao Ran, come to my team and we will sing songs blissfully, okay?”
Wang Feng also spoke, “I will let you unique songs be heard by more people . ”
Jay Chou interrupted, “Eh, Mentor Wang Feng, what does this have to do with you? They have all rushed down, did you rush down?”
“I did!”
“He did, he was the second person to rush down . ”
Na Ying and Harlem Yu was watching the show and started a commotion .
Harlem Yu couldn’t stop laughing, “You don’t even put Wang Feng in your eyes uh?”
Jay Chou knew that he had made a huge blunder and embarrassedly tilted in his chair .
Wang Feng pretended to put on a sad face, “A single statement from Jay has hurt my feelings . Alright, it is your turn now . ”
Jay Chou placed his palms together and apologized, “Apologies, apologies, I truly forgot that you had also rushed down . ”
Immediately after, Jay Chou said to Xiao Ran, “Let’s go play games together, okay? If you are good enough, I can let you join the J Team’s official team and play in LPL . ”
…
Yes, that’s right, in this parallel world, Jay Chou, Director Jay had his own LoL team, ‘J Team’ .
Xiao Ran wanted to join the J Team and wanted to go through the same thing as ‘I May’, progressing three times in a single year . He wanted to promote from LSPL into the LPL during the spring season, then qualify for S6 Worlds Championship after the summer season .
He wanted to complete this legend . Furthermore, he wanted to be the champion for the S6 Worlds and transcend the legend!
Xiao Ran revealed a bashful smile at Jay Chou, “Actually, I am also a streaming host and is streaming LoL on Douyu . ”
“Oh?” Jay Chou’s curiosity was piqued as he asked, “What is your tier? What is your IGN?”
“I? I just made it to Ionia’s server no . 1 position on Challenger yesterday . ”
Jay Chou felt all his senses were blasted by a thunderbolt and was stunned .
“You, you… You are, are…”
“Yes, I am God Kun . ”
